Chicken

Walter

Rescue-versary: June 22, 2024

Found wandering a neighborhood and ended up unclaimed at animal control. A friend heard about him and picked him up after his stray hold, then reached out to us.

Personality: Fit right in with hen pals Ezekiel and Wednesday. Loves protecting them. Won "Best Hair at Sage Mountain Sanctuary" this year.
